Building Blocks community leadership program 2026
United for Diversity:
Building Leaders for the Future

 

NEW PROGRAM COMING in 2026!​

​

Wyndham’s Building Blocks community leadership program is an inspiring program offering a unique opportunity to learn community leadership skills, connect with other passionate community-minded people and be supported to undertake a local community project.

​

Wyndham is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia, welcoming thousands of new and diverse residents each year, keen to make Wyndham their home.

​

We are seeking local community members who have the energy, heart and desire to build intercultural connections and a sense of belonging in Wyndham.​

​

For the purpose of Wyndham’s Building Blocks Community Leadership Program, we define a community leader as:


“A community member who mobilises and empowers others to make positive change within the Wyndham community through tangible actions with demonstrable community benefits.”

​

NO COST -  a Wyndham City program

​​​​​​​

Program commences MAY 2026

Applications open in February 2026 - stay connected for new announcements!

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia, especially the lands of the Kulin Nations whose countries surround the city of Naarm (Melbourne, Australia), where we live and work. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.

 

We recognise their sovereignty and continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and the importance of the current and ongoing dialogue for Treaty and a Voice to parliament. We recognise the sorrow this struggle brings and admire their strength to continue. We are appalled by the impact of our colonial past but see that all of us have benefited from this dispossession.

 

We give our commitment to being good allies towards the achievement of justice and healing. This includes honouring the work and ways of knowing of First Nations people with whom we collaborate.

We publicly acknowledge the grief, loss, sadness and vulnerability of survivors and victims of family, private & gender-based violence. In recognition we commemorate children, young people, adults and older adults surviving and those who have died as a result of such violence. Please take 30 seconds of quiet contemplation for change and reflect on HOPE, COURAGE and HEALING for victims, our community and ourselves.

Thank you Güler Altunbas for these words. See www.shrineforus.com
